STEP 17. Check the switch output voltage at PCM
connector C-42 by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect connector C-42.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
(3) Move the selector lever to "N" position.

(4) Measure the voltage between terminal 121 and ground by

backprobing.

•

Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the voltage normal?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO : Go to Step 18.

STEP 18. Check connector C-42 at PCM for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Repair it because of the harness open circuit or short

circuit to ground between the Park/Neutral position
switch connector B-39 terminal 4 and PCM connector
C-42 terminal 121.

NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness
